Hearty and smooth, with a deep malt complexity and roasty sweetness, this multi award- winning lager is one of the top selling Oktoberfest beers in the world!
Ingredients
- 1 large white or yellow onion, coarsely chopped
- 8 fresh bratwurst
- 24 oz. (3 cups) Samuel Adams Octoberfest
- 8 hotdog or torpedo rolls, lightly toasted
- Optional accompaniments: ketchup, mustard, relish, sauerkraut
Preparation
In a large saucepan, combine the beer and onions. Add the bratwurst and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer 10 to 15 minutes or until the brats are heated through. Adjust heat to maintain the simmer. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, lift brats from poaching liquid and nestle in the rolls. Top with any of the accompanying condiments and serve.
